A mobile app is a dream project for you and decides the fate of your brand and business, but even when everything falls into place, one aspect disturbs you a little, that is mobile app development cost. Yeah, you all can relate to my question well, that a mobile development cost is something which holds back many business owners to give it a try. We all know the basic mobile app cost somewhere around $5,000 and can go beyond to uncountable numbers, but what lies there, which controls the mobile app development cost, and let it go beyond even…hmm, there is no secret recipe which handles this domain, but there are certain factors which decide the app development cost and help you control it, if you know them beforehand, so in order to know more about those deciding factors, let’s go ahead…

App Platform

This is the major deciding factor, where you need to pick smartly the app platform, so your mobile app can be developed for it. It’s your choice whether you want a mobile app to be accessible on different mobile app platforms, such as iOS , Android, Windows, and Web or if you want to hit the only one particular OS initially and then proceed with the another OS in the next app version. If you pick many OS your app development cost would go higher, since the development would vary from one to another.

App Design

Yeah, this is crucial because we buy something first from our eyes, it means unless your mobile app is visually appealing, no one would proceed with your mobile app, so you need to invest your energy, money, ideas and whatever it would take to make app icon, splash screen, app interface, app buttons and app design engaging enough. You can cut down your budget from the functionality department, but don’t think to give a miss to app design through any means, it would cost you a little more, but take it as an investment, since if your app does not look good, no one would like to indulge into the app functionalities.

App Functionalities

It’s a dream come true for you, if your app would consist A-Z of functionalities which would bespeak your business domain, but integrating a heap of functionalities, unfortunately costs a fortune to you, so you need to sit and decide which app functionality is much needed in the first version of a mobile app, and which functionalities can be a part of later app version. This would save you from financial drought and also your users would get suitable mobile app functionalities to get comfortable in the first go.

App Development Company

Your app development company actually plays a vital role in giving a reality platform to your dream app concept, so you need to pick your app development company, not on the basis of their cost, but on the basis of their exposure, technical experience and the variety of clients and the industries served. You can know about these details easily from their respective websites, and to get a more unbiased review, you can check the app development companies profile on the listing websites, like Clutch, AppFutura, GoodFirms, AppDexa, Skilled and Extract to name a few. These websites conduct the genuine interview with the clients, so you can get the sure shot image of their real technical expertise.

The tip here goes that never pick a mobile app development company on the basis of cost, because it might sound easy and affordable to you, but for a long run, they turn harmful for your app project, since they have a limited sources and technical expertise, to handle the obvious technical challenges of app development process, as a result they delay or abandon your app project in between, forcing you to opt for another experienced app development company. This would further burn a hole in your pocket, so play smart and intelligent and pick for a mobile app development company in Dubai like Techugo, for your application development requirements, who has the required experienced resource and the technical expertise to carve a successful mobile app solution for your business needs.

If you are willing to get a mobile app for your business, you must give a call to the Techugo team, we are just a buzz away to discuss further your app concept to bring into reality.

It is a worldwide fact, that mobile apps are the instant answer to many of our daily requirements, since the app platform is the best way to address those needs without a fail. Mobile apps are everywhere, and their presence can be felt easily on our regular active status on our mobile screens, but not every app has a strong and loyal customer base, do you wonder why?… Yes, you are right, because users do not get what they supposed to get from a mobile app, and as a result dump the mobile apps through uninstalls. It is way too disheartening for a mobile app developerand business owners to know that their beloved mobile app, has received uninstall from a bigger chunk of users.

The reasons for quitting the mobile app in between can be in abundance, but to retain your customers effectively is the biggest challenge faced by any business. To understand that what are the best ways to keep your users loyal to your services, read this ahead and get accomplish the customer loyalty program with your mobile apps….

Why Customer Loyalty Matters

Ummm!!! Quite interesting to ask such question, or maybe very foolish to ask such question, but yet I would love to satiate some of the hungry brains out there and would answer this question. When you build a mobile app for your business, you can draw a good attention, if the mobile app offers what users want, but users can never remain stick to your mobile app, if your mobile app does not offer anything new or upgrade its features, there you may lose a potential customer base in a jiffy. Remember customer loyalty drives the loyal customers buy products and services again and again from a same brand or store. Now the question arises how to maintain the customer loyalty, so below are some major ways to boost your customer loyalty with mobile apps…take a look

Incentives Always Work

It sounds a little weird but actually, little-gift-wrapped incentives always work in your favor, integrate some monetization efforts in your customer retention program and let there be a healthy flow of the customer retention chain. You can offer rewards or in-app incentives to increase customer retention ad it really works in the favor of your aim.

Deliver What You Promise

It is the next but the most crucial part to sustain your customer base, DELIVER WHAT YOU PROMISE, many mobile apps promise to deliver certain things on upgrading the mobile app, but eventually, turn out to be something else, when it comes to the final delivery, this really irks your customers to the extent that they can give a ditch to your mobile app instantly, so DO NOT play with your customers, only promise that which is in your authority, even if it is not much, but it will create a strong loyal customer base around your mobile app.

Let There Be A Communication Bridge

The most I hate in the service, when my grievances are not addressed promptly and I have to reach 5 different angles to reach the real place to solve my query, I think just like me, many are out there, who feel dejected, isolated and cheated when no one hears the cry, and unfortunately this is the most common practice integrated by every mobile app developer, thinking that replying to your user’s query is a time –waste or does not hold much priority, but hey you are absolutely wrong, because the words of acknowledgment given to your user’s problems, act as a healer, and you build a trust wall around you and your users which help them to stick to your services, even if there had been some flaws. So LISTEN to your users and give voice to their concerns.

Don’t Be Rigid

I personally prefer a mobile app, which I can customize as per my taste, so it can clearly depict my mood and personality through the mobile app, but sadly not many mobile apps offer this feature to users, where they can customize the mobile apps to get a personalized effect, which gives a robotic experience to users, and they feel their interaction is one way, not two ways, so give your users this liberty so they are able to utilize the mobile app in a customized way, which they prefer.

A mobile app can be a blessing for your business if it is able to retain the right set of customers for your domain for a longer time. So practice above-mentioned strategies in your mobile app development process religiously so you would not lag behind in the successful app development for your business requirements. Not every mobile app development company is capable of integrating these strategies effectively in their app development process, but Techugo has gained popularity as mobile app development company, since we do not just develop successful mobile apps, but our mobile apps help end-users to be retained and remained glued to the mobile apps for the longer time.

There are plenty of mobile apps available on app stores. They are all made to fulfill a purpose and meet human needs. The idea behind mobile apps is always to simplify the complications of human life and assist them in the best way possible while having the user engaged. But, are all the apps successful in realizing this goal? The answer is a big NO. Not every app finds its way onto the device of the user and there could be many reasons for that. One of the reasons for an app not being successful is losing out to their competitors in the fierce battle to entice and lure users to become a prospect customer. The other important reasons could be the faults in the app. Let’s discuss a few of those features in detail and how to avoid the shortcomings of a mobile app with Techugo, a top mobile app development company in Dubai.

Simple & Easy To Use: As discussed earlier, an essential role that an app plays is to ease the complications and basic struggles of everyday life and hence, your app needs to be simple and easy to use with little to no complex functions. An app that is complicated and can have the user easily confused is of no use to the user and would end up getting uninstalled almost immediately after the download. To make sure that users use your app, a smooth design and simple layout are required to be defined during the mobile app development process. The navigation within the app should be uncomplicated and the app should serve the purpose it is meant for. If your app has minimal and simplistic features, a user is more likely to be drawn towards it and use it.

Performance Shouldn’t Be Sidelined: Often times while developing the app, the performance aspect of the app on the device is overlooked. Remember, a user would never opt for an app that slows down the speed of his device. A user would always want his device to function smoothly while using the app. Therefore, the size of the app should be as low as possible so that it doesn’t occupy much space on the device and the processing capabilities of the app don’t overheat or freeze the device. The app shouldn’t consume too much power of the device and the response of the app on the device should be as quick as possible. Additionally, an app shouldn’t take quite a lot of time to boot up and should be lightning fast when making use of the internet connection. An optimized app with all the performance glitches perfectly worked upon during the app development process, would end up winning the heart of the user and will definitely find a place on the device of the user.

Security Should Be Tight: A user’s primary concern is that the privacy of his data isn’t breached. An app utilizes quite an amount of a user’s permissions to access vital information on the device and his personal data to customize things to his liking. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the app to preserve these vital statistics gathered from the user and hence, the security should not be overlooked. An app’s security should be as robust as a concrete wall of a prison. Stringent measures should be taken to avert any kind of data theft or phishing attempts that puts users’ data at risk or exposed. If an app fails to meet the security requirements, a user will never go for that app.

Online/Offline Usability: Apps come with an assurance of simplifying and streamlining a user’s life or to keep him engaged or entertained. Hence, the app needs to be usable at all times, irrespective of the circumstances. An app shouldn’t be developed only keeping in mind the online usability. Albeit minimum, an app should be able to work offline also. An app for which a user finds usability in both the environments is a sure shot.

App Updates: To compete against your competitors and assume the throne of domination and access to consumers, the app needs to meet certain standards and specifications that keep on changing all the time. Accordingly, to meet the standards and changing demand, the app needs to be updated constantly. New features and adaptability to new environments should be released with every app update and the app updates should be planned in advance. This an app development process that’s never ending until the app is decommissioned. Regular app updates also help in removing glitches or unnecessary features of the app and thus, help in the smooth functioning of the app.

Communication Channel: An app helps an organization to bring it closer to its consumers. The bridging of the gap helps the organization in understanding its consumers better and enables it to assist them and address them conveniently and efficiently. The organization can work on the feedback of the customers to fine tune its app according to the consumers’ need. Moreover, this communication channel can also be used as an advertisement and marketing tool to promote your products/services and introduce new products.

Freedom To Personalize: Humans love it when they are paid heed to and made to feel special. With an app, one has the opportunity to allure their users by giving them access to app personalization according to their taste and likeness. You can let the users set the theme according to their taste, change the color and background of the app, the appearance, use their own photos to customize the app, etc. These functionalities can be easily realized in the app development phase and is a Mantra of surefire success.

Analytics Integration:In order to serve your customers to their level of expectation, it is increasingly important that you track the user behavior, the reaction, the demography, the usage stats and many other things. This can easily be achieved with the use of analytical tools that are available to track such crucial insights about users and help in tuning the app better.

Amalgamation Of Social Media: In this digitized world, everybody likes to make a statement and address their presence. Social Media has set the stage for that and has made it available to everyone. People love to share their achievements, happiness on the platform. Rather, to put it more aptly, people love to share their emotions. Hence, to expand your user base, it is essential that the app has a feature to make postings on social media platforms and enable users to do it easily. The feature can be added while the mobile app is in the development phase.

Cover As Much Ground As Possible: Since the arrival of smartphones, the world has been majorly split into two halves. iOS& Android. Both the platforms have their own set of unique features and resonate with users in their own style. Both are exceptional in their own league and have a huge following. Thus, to expand your consumer base and the use of your mobile app, it is necessary that you don’t pick a side and develop an app that’s compatible with both the platforms to maximize your user base and profits.

Conclusion: It is not rocket science to build a mobile app that grabs the attention of the users and serve their purpose spot on. All it requires is proper planning during the development stage and efficient execution of those plans. A mobile app development company that provides app development services along with marketing and promotion strategies for your app, can do the job for you.
